This shit is getting worst by the day.
I'm meant to be seeing The National and Phoebe Bridgers in a few weeks and I'm just waiting every day for the cancellation announcement to arrive. I'd be gutted but also feel guilty that I have my priorities kind of mixed up.

The hysteria definitely has kicked up a few notches here in the US in the last 24 hours.

the panic purchasing has hit here. Last week it was hand sanatizer. Today my HEB was totally out of toilet paper. Lucky for me I have enough for a while but if it keeps up... I guess I'll be skipping the Taco Bell.

Australian Grand Prix has just been cancelled. And the cricket match between Australia and N Z being played this afternoon isnt allowing spectators. I suspect the NRL and AFL might also adopt an empty stadium policy shortly.

Panic purchasing hitting here. I was at the grocery store at 9 PM and I've never seen it so packed at that hour. Toilet paper aisle empty. A dude just happened to be wheeling out replacements, but he said there's no where near enough to satisfy demand and he didn't even put it on the shelf. He just left the boxes in the aisle saying it'd be gone within the hour. Crazy. I've never seen anything like this except when a big snow storm was set to hit.

Australia just announced that all gatherings of more than 500 people are going to be banned from Monday, so that will rule out all of The Australian shows on The National tour. So even though we've only had 5 cases here in NZ (no deaths and the last case was 6 days ago), they'll still cancel the NZ shows I'm sure because it would be cost prohibitive to come all this way for only two shows.

And also - it sounds like The Australian policy takes effect from Monday because the Prime Minister wants to go to a football match tomorrow. Did that guy not learn anything from the reaction to him skipping the country in the middle of a national crisis a few months ago?

I still don't get the toilet paper thing.. If everything breaks down, there will be solutions to replace toilet paper.. maybe they are a little bit more complicated or uncomfortable but it's not a big deal...
